Shop additions

I had a week of waiting for some drop outs and made the best of it.

I have 2 bikes in a row that need stainless drop outs and Mark at Paragon is doing his best to get me them ASAP. This week in limbo I made a bunch of stuff that has been on my mind for some time now. I also am making Shai a fork I had told him I would build if I had extra time (which I usually do not).

First I made some major improvements on my unicrown mitering fixture. Here is the end result.

Next I made a new pedestal for my BB stamping machine which currently lives on a bench. This is way more rigid and will allow me to tuck it into a corner.

This is a pedestal and base I made for a small tube bender I had. The original design was crap and was not rigid enough. The new design is ultimately going to be a DiAcro 1A. I am kind of psyched with the end result. I also made some additions to my DiAcro #2 bender but I will be keeping those additions to myself since some things need to be secret.
